6 | Comments | Prologue 1-2, 8-10, 24-25. Mentions the threefold division of the OT as something which is closed. | 22 books, from Moses to Artaxerxes (the time of Esther, ~ 400 BC). Because only the five books are named, that's why the rest of the books are in the category of "highly implied". | Discovered in 1873. This is identical to the list given by Epiphanius in Of Weights and Measures, 23. | Perserved by Eusebius. Has the whole OT except Esther (whether intentionally excluding it or accendentially whether by Melito or by Eusebius). He also includes the Wisdom of Solomon. | Discovered in 1740. Various dates have been given and locations. The traditional location is that it was from the East, originally in Greek and then translated into Latin in the mid-4th century. | 24 books; the tradition was complied in 200 A. D. but most probably came way before. From Baba Bathra 14 | Commentary on Ps. 1 in 220s as cited by Eusebius in Eccl. Hist., 6:25. There are 22 covenanted books of the OT. In Homilies on Joshua 7.1 preserved by Rufinus he gives the list of the 27 NT canon. He included some apocryphal works such as the additions to Daniel and supposed that the Jews removed them because it criticized the leadership. He relies on the LXX as the Scripture of the Church and inspired. | An important MSS containing the whole OT, NT as well as some of the deuterocanon. | An important MSS containing some of the OT, the whole NT as well as some deuterocanonical books as well as the Shepherd and the Epistle of Barnabas. | This is not the table of contents of the Codex, but a list contained in the codex which was discovered by Beza. Within this Codex Claromontanus, four pages separate Hebrews from Philemon, which someone has used to copy a Latin catalogue of books. OT canon matches mostly the Council of Trent. | He uses three categories of books: encovenanted/accepted/undisputed, disputed and spurious. He discusses only the NT. Eusebius' objective in writing Eccl. Hist. is about "which of the orthodox writiers in each period used any of the doubtful books, and what they said about the encovenanted and accepted Scriptures and what about those which are not such (3:3:3). | Contained in Catechesis 4.33-36. The number of the OT books is 22 of the LXX. He rejects the apocryphal writings (Cate., IV:33). | Has a pretty traditional OT canon (except inclusion of Baruch and Ep. Of Jer.). In the NT, it omits Rev. as was usual in the East in the mid-fourth century (e.g., Cyril of Jerusalem). | The canon of the OT consists of 22 books as the Jewish canon except additions to Jer. There is dependence on Origen. | Also called Cheltenham List containing a list of books. | Athanasius' OT canon basically conforms to the Jewish one with the exception of Esther and inclusion of Baruch and Ep. Of Jer. There is a constant distinction between the "so-called apocrypha" and "the divinely inspired Scriptures" | This is a document coming from the Syrian church. This is the first list to include the complete Apocrypha (even books not accepted by RCC or EO). It purports to be from the actual Apostles. This document has also textual problems, see Canon Lists, pp. 134-136 (See pp. 140-141 for the Syriac versions) | This is the cousin of the great Gregory N. His OT canon contains 38 books (except Esther) corresponding to the modern enumeration. | His OT canon has 22 books, but excludes Esther. | The Decree of the Council of Rome (AD 382) on the Canon of Scripture during the reign of Pope Damasus I (AD 366–384) reads thus, according to the later ‘Gelasian Decree’. This council accepts the traditional Apocrypha, as well as the complete canon of the OT and NT. | Epiphanius gives 3 canon lists. He reckons the OT books as 27 but says that the Jews reckon them as 22. The places and dates of his canon are as follows: (1) Panarion 8.6.1-4, 76.22.5 (ca. 376), (2) Of Measures and Weights 4-5, 22-23 (392). He speaks in Panion 8.6 of the divine books being from the time of genesis to the time of Esther. | He translated the OT into Latin. He gives his list of OT canon three different times as the Jewish canon of 22 books with no additions not even the additions to Jeremiah. | Augustine was at this time a priest in Hippo. The Breviarium Hipponense 36, was accepted by the Council of Carthage and reaffirmed at later councils, including a subsequent Council of Carthage in 419. The list comes from the Council of Carthage in 419. | In his On Christian Doctrine, ii:8 he gives a list. Augustine's canon is the exact that of the Council of Trent! He counts 44 books for the OT because he includes the deuterocanonical books and separates conjoined books (including the Twelve). | This council reaffirms the list in Breviarium Hipponense 36 (Council of Hippo, 393). The primary source of information about the third Council of Carthage comes from the Codex Canonum Ecclesiae Africanae, which presents a compilation of ordinances enacted by various church councils in Carthage during the fourth and fifth centuries. The list comes from the Council of Carthage in 419. | An important MSS containing the whole OT and NT, as well as a lot of OT apocrypha/pseudepigrapha and 1-2 Clement. This MSS also includes Athanasius, Epistle of Marcellinus; Eusebius, Hypothesis of Psalms. | This MSS contains the whole NT. | Translator of some important Greek theological works into Latin. Makes a distinction between canonical, ecclesiastical and apocryphal. The latter may not be read at church. Rufinus expressed his view on the canon after the Councils of Hippo and Carthage. | Innocent's canon is essential the same as Trent's (1546) and without any distinction just like Augustine. | Cassiodorus was a Roman statesman, renowned scholar of antiquity, and writer serving in the administration of Theodoric the Great, king of the Ostrogoths. He refers to the "seventy-one canonical books" (as understood by Augustine). He mentions the canons of Jerome (bk. 1, ch. 12), Augustine (bk. 1, ch. 13) and the LXX (bk. 1, ch. 14). | He numbers the OT books at 22. | Has the deuterocanonicals too in the OT. | The Decree of Gelasius (Decretum Gelasianum), which contains a list of canonical books, was so called because it was formerly ascribed to Pope Gelasius (in office from 492 to 496). Various recensions of the same decree were also ascribed to the earlier Pope Demasus (366-384) and the later Hormisdas (514-523), or to councils over which they presided. This list essentially reproduces the canon of the Council of Rome in 382 AD. | Has the Jewish canon of 22 books and recognizes that the Jews exclude the Apocrypha, but "the Church of Christ honors and preaches among the divine books." He says that "There is a fourth section of the Old Testament among us, whose books are not in the Jewish canon." | The list on the website is incomplete and lists only the rejected books. This list, which probably originated in the 7th century, and is transmitted in several manuscripts, reflects the view, widely held in the Greek Church at a later time, of the canon of 60 books (34 OT and 26 NT). There are only 26 NT books because the Revelation of John is missing. After the enumeration of the canonical books, there follows that of the writings 'outside the sixty' and the 'apocrypha'. | He has a 22 book OT canon. His going over the Hebrew alphabet is similar to that of Epiphanius in Of Measures and Weights 4-5. He groups the OT in various Pentateuchs like Epiphanius: 5 x 5 + 2 = 27 books | The canon list of Rabanus appears in his work De clericorum institutione, which is "an instructional manual for clerics to ensure they would have a proper foundation for the studies that would enable them to fulfill their ecclesiastical duties". He lists 45 OT books and includes the deuterocanonicals just like Trent. In total, he has 72 books. | Nicephorus (Patriarch of Constantinople 806-815) drew up a Chronography reaching from Adam to the year of his death (829), to which he appended a canon catalogue, the origin of which has not been clearly settled, but which may perhaps be located in Jerusalem. Contains a lot more apocryphal books than here enlisted. It is essentially a catalogue of books not accepted by the church including Revelation. His list of OT books is 22 although Esther is not considered canonical. | Hugh of St. Victor was a leading theologian of the twelfth century who had great influence on theologians of subsequent ages. He was the prior of the school of St. Victor from 1133 to 1141. George Tavard refers to him as ‘that greatest theological figure of the twelfth century.’ The OT has 22 books. | Peter of Montboissier, was the abbot of the Benedictine abbey of Cluny. He has been honored as a saint but has never been formally canonized. He accepts the Jewish canon of the OT. | This is a collection of biblical commentaries in the form of glosses. The glosses are drawn mostly from the Church Fathers, but the text was arranged by scholars during the twelfth century. The Glossa ordinaria was the official Biblical commentary used during the Middle Ages in all the theological centers for the training of theologians. Jerome is one of the primary influences. The Apocrypha is not for establishing doctrine or resolving controversy in the Church. The OT has 22 books and all apocryphal works said said to be non-canonical but nonetheless beneficial. | Peter’s position on the canon was the same as Isidore and Rabanus Maurus. He wrote that the Hebrew canon consisted of 22 books, but that the Apocrypha have been received by the church: "The Church of Christ proclaims these and honors them as divine books, even though the Jews separate them as Apocrypha." | He was a Medieval Scottish philosopher and theologian and one of the most influential religious thinkers of his time. OT books are 24. | John of Salisbury (late 1110s – 25 October 1180), who described himself as Johannes Parvus ("John the Little"), was an English author, philosopher, educationalist, diplomat and bishop of Chartres. The canon of the OT consists of 22 books. In the NT, he adds the epistle to the Laodiceans! | In his work Historia Scholastica, Peter aligned himself with Jerome in separating the Apocrypha from the canonical books of the Old Testament. The books of the OT are 22. | In the Prologue to his commentary on the book of Joshua, Hugh gave a listing of the books of the Old Testament according to the Hebrew canon, indicating that the entirety of the Old Testament was comprised in the specific books listed. The books of the OT are 22. He also mentions the books in the Apocrypha and categorizing them as doubtful. | Acknowledges Jerome's canon, but says that the books which he called Apocrypha have been accepted by the catholic church. Doesn't give an explicit list. | He was one of the most highly regarded and influential theologians of the Middle Ages, surpassing even Thomas Aquinas in authority as a biblical commentator. He was included in the Glossa ordinaria. His running commentary on the entire Scriptures, Postillae perpetuae super totam Bibliam, was the first of its kind to be printed. He was a Hebrew scholar who endorsed the Hebrew canon according to the judgment of Jerome. He places the apocryphal works outside of the canon. | In his Dialogues, Ockham wrote that the Church did not receive the books of the Apocrypha as canonical and were therefore not used for the confirmation of doctrines of the faith. He mentioned Judith, Tobit, Maccabees, Ecclesiasticus and Wisdom by name in this regard. He referred to the authority of Jerome and Gregory the Great as confirmation of this view. He rejects the Apocrypha as only for edification, but does not list the rest of the canon although at this time it was pretty much agreed upon | Antoninus wrote that the Apocryphal books were not considered canonical by the Church and were therefore not authoritative for the confirmation of doctrines of the faith. He numbered the canonical books of the Old Testament at 22, thereby indicating that he followed the Hebrew canon and cited Jerome and Nicholas of Lyra as authorities for his position. | Tostado taught that the books of the Apocrypha were non-canonical and, as such, were not authoritative for establishing points of doctrine. He also affirmed that the Church allowed the books to be read and studied for the purpose of edification. The church " obligates nobody necessarily to believe what is contained" in the Apocrypha. He makes a fine distinction between books in Holy Scripture and books in the Canon. The Church reads the Apocrypha and counts them among her books, but they're not canonical. | In his Commentary on Genesis, Denys commented on the books of the canon. He gave a list of the canonical books of the Old Testament repeating Jerome’s Prologue to the book of Kings in which he listed the canonical Old Testament books as corresponding to the Hebrew canon and comprising 22 in number. | The Council of Florence is the seventeenth ecumenical council recognized by the Catholic Church, held between 1431 and 1449. It was convoked as the Council of Basel by Pope Martin V shortly before his death in February 1431. The canon lists is the same as Trent's. | Jacobus Faber Stapulensis was a sixteenth century theologian and Doctor at the University of Paris. In referring to the Apocrypha he followed Jerome in stating that those particular books were not considered part of the canon and consequently did not possess the authority of the canonical Scriptures, though they were useful for the edification of believers. | Jean Driedo was a sixteenth century theologian and member of the faculty of the Catholic University at Louvain who condemned Luther’s teachings in 1519. He stated that the Apocryphal books were not considered part of the Old Testament canon. The Church used them for the purposes of edification but they did not carry the same authority as the canonical books, which alone were used for the confirmation of the doctrines of the faith. | He is the one who privately interrogated Luther in 1518. He was a defender of the authority of the Pope. Cajetan wrote a commentary on all the canonical books of the Old Testament which he dedicated to the pope. The Apocrypha is not canonical following the precedent of Jerome. He held other statements of councils or doctors to be corrected by Jerome! They can only be called canonical for edification. | In his book, The Examination of Those Who Were to Be Ordained for the Sacred Ministry of the Church, John Ferus listed the books of which he says comprised the Old Testament canon. He included the books of the Apocrypha among that list. In so doing he made a distinction between those that were truly canonical and authoritative and the Apocrypha which he said was not canonical but was useful for private reading in one’s own home. | Session 4, on 8 April 1546. This is the dogmatic and universal canonization of the apocryphal books for the Roman Catholic Church. An anathema is placed upon those who do not accept this canon: "But if any one receive not, as sacred and canonical, these same books entire with all their parts, as they have been used to be read in the Catholic Church, and as they are contained in the old Latin vulgate edition; and knowingly and deliberately despise the traditions aforesaid; let him be anathema." | Beliefs of the Anglican Church written under the direction of Thomas Cranmer. Lists the Apocryphal books and recommends them for edification, but not doctrine following Jerome. | Drawn up by John Calvin. Distinguishes between the canonical books and the ecclesiastical books, but does not name which ecclesiastical books are meant. | Includes the Apocrypha in a section between the OT and NT. | Drawn up by Guide de Bres and represents Reformed churches adhering to the Three Forms of Unity. Article 4 lists the traditional Protestant canon and article 6 lists the apocrypha and says that they're useful to read. | The original KJV includes the books of the Apocrypha in a section between the OT and NT called "The Bookes called Apocrypha." | Westminster Confession of Faith for the Presbyterians. The Apocrypha is not in the Canon and thus should be treated as merely a human work. | Savoy Declaration of Faith for the English Congregationalists. The Apocrypha is not in the Canon and thus should be treated as merely a human work. | Eastern orthodox position. A Synod of Eastern Orthodox Churches was called in Jerusalem in 1672 to refute the position of Cyril Lucaris, Patriarch of Constantinople, who had published a Confession in which he attempted to express Orthodox beliefs in terms of the predestinarian beliefs of Calvinism. | The Second London Baptist Confession of Faith for the English Particular Baptists. The Apocrypha is not in the Canon and thus should be treated as merely a human work. | |
